Barcelona agree midfielder sale | OneFootball

La Liga champions Barcelona have agreed to the terms of a sale of a member of the club’s youth ranks.

The Blaugrana talent primed to move on this summer? Noah Darvich.

Darvich, for those not familiar with his name, is a versatile 18-year-old midfielder, who generally operates in an advanced role through the middle.

The German is currently plying his trade with Barca Atlètic, for whom he featured on 25 occasions in league play this past season.

Following the January departure of Unai Hernández for Saudi Arabia, Darvich was drafted into Barcelona’s Champions League squad for the 2nd half of the term, a regular in first-team training over recent months as a result.

The youngster, though, was not afforded a single appearance at senior level.

With his 25 appearances at reserve level having featured just eight starts, meanwhile, speculation had begun to mount of late that a Blaugrana departure could be on the cards for Darvich this summer.

And as alluded to above, on Wednesday, precisely as much has been confirmed.

As per a report from German transfer insider Florian Plettenberg, the Camp Nou brass have agreed a deal to send their midfield starlet to Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart on a permanent basis:

‘Noah Darvich to VfB Stuttgart is considered a done deal! Full agreement with Barcelona. Permanent deal. Medical today. The 18-year-old talented attacking midfielder has been one of the top targets in this position. Now close to being done.’
